Hello Everyone, Here is a little Tilda card that I put together yesterday!I've been enjoying the sunshine here and really looking forward to my hols in a month, where has the time gone, I cant believe that its June tomorrow!I have had a great week, getting familiar with the fashionista DT pages and I also won a Top 5 place, in Sherri's Besties Challenge Blog too!!! I will also be posting my first ever DT blog card soon!Onto this card, the Image is sweet pea Tilda and I have stamped her with Rich Mocha Memento Ink. And as everyone knows, the oval is a spellbinders frame. I have distressed and frantaged the edges, then glittered over the frantage with a little stickles, as the colours are quite muted and thought it might add that little extra sparkle.All the papers are Maja Spring Basics Papers and all the flowers are from Hobby house, I cant get enough of their, cherry blossoms, they are perfect for a lot of the DI's. The Ribbon is from the ribbon girl, I just adore this ribbon, it makes superb bows, I re ordered some more just yesterday and a heap of other goodies that I just couldn't resist.I have also added, a so wrapped up doohickey, which I think is becoming a bit of trademark of mine hee hee! I think the sentiment is perfect for the image and added a selection of lacy leaves in different shades & patterns and one of my handmade sparkly pins too! (another trademark)I coloured her with a mix of promarkers and prisma pencils and I love my new frame that arrived a couple of days ago! I hope that you have a great weekend and fingers crossed the sunshine.Take careCuddles Jay xxxI would like to enter the following challenges

Hello Again My Lovely Friends.Here is my second post for the day.I have masked magnolia onto the lovely Tilda Dandelion Background, the image is coloured with prisma pencils and copics, I have just bought the background and thought this lovely 'Tilda dancing with stars' image, fluttering about in the flowers fits the background perfectly, I mean, who doesn't like a fairy?The papers are Maja Spring Basics papers and Colour Core Card, no shock there hee hee! I have also used another paper border around the blue floral paper and punched it with a Martha Stewart Punch, with 2 little die cut and distressed tiny tags, peeking out from the side.The florals are again from the ribbon girl and live and love crafts, I have frantaged the little heart which is from L&L Crafts and the toadstool charm is from the ribbon girl.(links in my side bar)I've frantaged the backing paper, behind the image, die cut and assembled the bunting and stitched a lovely big organza and satin bow.I hope you like it and thank you for dropping by.Take care and big hugs.Jay xxxI would like to enter the following challenges:Mid Week Magnolias Challenge - Birthday ThemeLovely Hanglar And Sweet Magnolia ChallengeMagnolia Licious - Weather It ThemeStamp & Create With Magnolia - Spring With Flowers ThemeTidla's Town Challenge: Use A Tilda Background

Hello Everyone, I haven't been about for a while as I have been quite poorly, I had flu and also larangitis (which I am sure my hubby was secretly happy about, although denied it! Hee Hee!).Anyway I'm all better now, so I have made a couple of cards to celebrate lol! This is my first one and I think this Saturated Canary" Harvest Princess" Image is just so pretty ( as all Krista's Images Are) and this one has a lovely earthy feel to it. The image is coloured with prisma pencils using LOS Technique and Promarkers for the skin.So I used some maja paper (green) and a floral cream glittered paper, I love colour core card, so of course used some of that too, I just love the linen textured feel and it distresses perfectly, with a little light sanding.The sentiment stamped Tilda Doohickey, which I bought from ebay goes fab with this image and I have wrapped the 'So Wrapped Up' Tilda Doohickey with shabby seam binding, pearl string, a tiny apple charm and tiny pom poms, how cute are the pom poms?Now, the Kort & Godt rolled paper roses and stunning organza ribbon are from the ribbon girl, who generously gave me a £10 gift voucher, as I won the beginner section in Marvellous Magnolia's Challenge for the card below! Which I was thrilled about Hee Hee!!! The Apples, Apple Charm and Bark Heart Are all from Live and Love Crafts. (All links in my side bar, for online stores)As I am now totally addicted to frantage, I have frantaged the image and bark heart and added a few of the colour fragments from the same range. Well, I had better get onto the second post for today.I hope that you like this card, I would love to hear some comments.Thanks for popping by my blog.Take Care and Big CuddlesJay xxxI would like to enter the following challenges:Sister Act Challenge - Anything goesDeep Ocean Sparkle ChallengeCrafty Sentiment Design Challenge - Add A Charm ThemeCupcake Craft Challenge - Lots of layers

Hello Everyone, Oh my goodness, we have had two days of glorious sunshine, clear blue skies and lots of gardening!! (I've nearly finished the tidy up)I was feeling like my cards where getting a bit samey, so I set myself a challenge. I wasnt going to use all of the usual things that I usually do, so no large roses, hand made hat pins etc. With one exception, the so wrapped up heart doohickey, which I love to use on cards, so allowed myself one little slip hee hee. I think that each crafter has their own style, so I wanted to do something different.So here is the card that I created using different materials, all from Live and Love Crafts, I have also frantaged the image and the bark heart and added some fragments too. This is the first thing that I have ever frantaged and I am in love with it now. The lovely ladies at L&L Crafts, have such a wonderful selection of goodies and unusual items that I cant keep my eyes off their site hee hee!So I used Maja Vintage Summer Basics Papers (papers? more like card!), Kort and Godt Rolled Paper Roses, Glass Pebbles and brown lace across the middle of the card. I die cut some butterflies and lacey leaves from the left over from the two papers. I used build a brad for the central embellishment on the base layer and used the left over paper to punch the middle section, so nothing went to waste. I have coloured tilda with prisma pencils, she is from the valentines collection, from earlier this year. I will check on her name and add it to the blog later.I have also threaded the doohickey with brown lace, shabby seam binding and pearl strings, with a heart charm. The daisy lace across the base layer is from my own goodies, with pearls in the center of each one.I would love to hear your comments and I hope that you like my card.Take careBig Hugs Jay xxxChallenges Entered Marvellous Magnolias Challenge - pearls and lace theme

Step Cards

I have been making these step cards since around 2009/10 and find them to be very eye catching and unusual in design. My family were all thrilled with their Christmas step cards, so I thought I would share the two that I have made recently. One is a male theme Edwin Card and the Other is from the Magnolia 2013 Summer Memories Range! Thanks For droping Bye. Cuddles Jay x
